Yeah, I think amazon is a question of personal taste whether you want their mail or not. I would recommend a site-specific rule on that, or a per-user one if you're multi-user. Personally, about 50% of what they send is what I'd call "vaguely solicited" and the other 50% is stuff I want to get. "Vaguely solicited" includes things like "you have a gift certificate which you haven't claimed, why don't you buy this book with it" sort of thing. Of course the other alternative with Amazon (and other such reputable companies) is to just follow the "send me no more email" instructions at the bottom of the message -- the big boys (amazon, ebay, yahoo, etc) really do stop sending you stuff if you ask them to. In work situations I've personally met the guy at Amazon whose job is to not piss off customers when they ask to not be molested. I haven't met that guy at Ebay, but there it's pretty much a company philosophy.
